对我来说印象深刻,甚至成为座右铭的一句话。来自The Great Gatsby 了不起的盖茨比的开头:Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've already had.当你想要批评谁的时候,你要记得,并非所有人都具备你所拥有的条件。很多时候,我们只会站在自己的角度去批判别人,却不知道别人都经历过什么。
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.你不会因为美丽去爱一个女人,但她却会因为你的爱而变得美丽。
我的世界不允许你的消失,不管结局是否完美. No matter the ending is perfect or not, you cannot disappear from my world.
从汉密尔街的一扇窗户望出去,星星点燃了我的眼睛。From a Himmel Street window, the stars set fire to my eyes. ——《偷书贼》(The Book Thief)第七章。
